The contractors, while excavating for the bed of the reservoir, came upon abandoned shafts and filled them with soil not suspecting that that they were abandoned mine shafts. The reservoir was completed and partly filled. Within days the bed of the reservoir gave way and burst, leading to flow of water through the channels connected with B’s mine.
